# Job Files

Once the File > Save All or Save As option is used, the application configured in the In-Sight ViDi adapter is saved into a single *.jobx file named [job_name].jobx. This *.jobx file contains all the job configuration data of a specific application developed for the In-Sight vision system. The job file can only be modified and saved while the vision system is offline.

You can store *.jobx files in two locations when creating or saving a new job:

- On the internal storage of the In-Sight device (or the external USB and SD Card storage inserted into the device, if supported).

  Note:

  For the In-Sight ViDi PC, internal storage refers to the fixed location on the PC:

  <X>:\ProgramData\Cognex\In-Sight\In-Sight ViDi PC\pubfs\Jobs

- On the PC running In-Sight Vision Suite and the development adapter. By default, jobs are stored at the following location on the PC:

  <X>:\Users\[User_Folder]\Documents\In-Sight Vision Suite\Jobs

Note:

- You can save the configured application as a runtime-only job by selecting Export Runtime Job from the File menu. When doing so, the In-Sight ViDi development adapter excludes the training images and the training workspace associated with the ViDi functions from the job's *.jobx file, thereby decreasing file size, and improving job load and save times. For more information, refer to the In-Sight ViDi Runtime Job topic.
- When developing In-Sight ViDi job files, Cognex recommends instituting a version control system for your job files. This will allow you to save and start job files from known states.
- You can add password protection to the job. See the Security topic for more information.
